00:01.08AmarandeI think we used to call your server fail'ganis, in fact
00:01.08Amarandeheh
00:01.35Amarandefor some reason a lot of folks from there are particularly bad at LFD runs
00:02.00Amarandeit was an especially palpable impression with the icc 5-mans

01:48.46kullervoTHESE ILLITERATE MORONS
01:48.52kullervo"go to the water wing I'm soloing library"
01:48.54kullervothey pull the first mob
01:48.57kullervoand run to the library
01:49.15kullervohttp://smhttp.14409.nexcesscdn.net/806D5E/wordpress-L/images/post-jackiechan.jpg
01:59.24Eraclitoand i leveled my 11th character to 90
01:59.53Eraclitohalf of them with pet battles from 85-86-87 to the cap
02:00.45Amarandeyou leveled all the way through panda levels via pet battles?
02:00.51Amarandewow.
02:01.54Eraclitopandaria is pretty cool, but after the fifth time it gets somewhat boring
02:02.19Eraclitoanyway it's not that long, a pet battle in dragonblight is slightly less than 1% exp
02:03.06Eraclitoabout thirty pet battles over there level a pet from 1 to 25
02:03.38Amarandehmmmmm better to level as windwalker and switch to brewmaster at highish level, or level as brewmaster the entire way ...
02:04.48Amarandeor maybe create a windwalker and a prot warrior
02:05.01Amarandesince if I do anything but tank on a warrior I'll be tempted to spec arms since I seem to like 2H builds
02:05.04Amarandeand apparently arms is sucktastic atm
02:07.27fewynhttp://isitblizzconyet.com/
02:08.13fewyn(i made it all prettier)
02:12.41Eraclitoooh~
02:19.04Amarandeactually is arms really that bad or does it just fail at scaling once you get to raid level gear
02:21.13Amarandemeanwhile this reddit thread is amusing me
02:22.12Amarande"never seen a female dwarf rogue" "never seen a female undead monk" :)
02:22.22AmarandeI ... actually have one of each of those on different servers LOL
02:23.22Eraclitoi hope dwarf females to be prettier after new models
02:23.34fewyni have a dwarf female shaman
02:23.39Eraclitoi don't mean totally differents, just... their faces are weird
02:24.00Eraclitothey remind me of my aunt
02:24.31AmarandeI'm never quite sure why so many people think dwarf women in wow are uglyish :S
02:24.50kullervosurprisingly, they actually aren't
02:25.20Amarandeyeah I actually have two female dwarves on Ysera
02:25.23Amarandea warlock and a rogue
02:25.27Amarandebtw
02:25.34Amarandewhat's the difference between 'full' and 'locked' server status in the list?
02:26.28Eraclitolocked should be like "gtfo you can't create a character"
02:27.00Eraclitowhile full is "gtfo but if you're persistent just be prepared for queues"
02:30.17Amarandehm
02:30.32AmarandeIllidan let me create a character even though it said locked, although I had to sit in a queue for a minute or so
02:30.51Amarandethe only thing I've ever really seen hard locks apply to is transfers, where too-high pop servers won't accept transfer characters at all
02:31.12Eraclitooh, right
02:31.23Amarande(because, you know, I would totally, say, transfer a draenei to illidan, that would be madness :P)
02:31.35Eraclitoi don't know why i was so sure about creating characters too
02:32.33Amarandeahh
02:32.37Amarandeapparently locked means it's queued
02:32.45Amarandebut then I'm not sure why "full" is a used label
02:32.47Eraclito( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xYicALoc5Gc/UmhAuwZQAOI/AAAAAAABks4/uySC8sTtHdo/s1600/2.jpg do want, so much)
02:32.56Amarandeif a server's marked as full I seem to be able to get in right away but if it's locked I get queued
02:33.03Amarandebut then if it's not queued, how is it full :P
02:33.54Amaranderofl, it just tried to default me to making a gnome
02:33.56Amarandeon illidan
02:34.00Amarandelike seriously WoW :)
02:34.26Amarandethere are probably more people who think Stalin was a good person than who play Alliance on Illidan :P
02:35.03Eraclitoi wouldn't understimate people's stupidity on both arguments
02:35.52Eraclitoyou know in Italy there's a law requiring the Crucifix to stay on the walls of public rooms? like, dunno, classrooms
02:44.51kullervoI'm convinced that skyshards no longer drop
02:45.00kullervoI killed hundreds of shao-tien mogu and got none
02:45.17kullervoalthough, it's about one per 300 kills so uh. I might not see that mount ever.
02:46.33Amarandekullervo: roll on Turalyon-US, there's usually someone trying to sell an alani kill
02:47.12Amarandehorde side
02:50.27kullervonot going to support botters
02:53.33Eraclitoi feel so stupid, i didn't do golden lotus dailies because i felt really bored
02:53.42Eraclitoand i found two skyshards pretty early in the expansion
02:53.49Eraclitoso ... i'm stuck at two
02:55.38kullervo"Looking for 3 dps and a dps for some 5-man farming"
02:58.44Lugburzlol
02:59.27kullervohere's something I'm a bit ashamed of: My healer monk does better dps on trash than my retripala
02:59.50kullervoif I had the 4t16 on my paladin, it'd be a whole different story though
03:00.24kullervoimagine endless divine storms
03:13.38Amarandekullervo: hm, didn't seem botterish ... more like people who have spare shards offering to take you out there and use their shards to wake Alani so you can kill her and get the mount, in exchange for a tidy sum
03:14.47AmarandeEraclito: eh, it just means you didn't have to deal with Zhao-Jin the Soul Crusher :)
03:15.17Eraclitooh well i did reach exalted and complete the chain
03:15.24Eraclitohe was pretty easy as a mage
03:15.39kullervoAmarande: you don't actually get "spare shards"
03:15.41Eraclitoyou know, blink through the bad stuff
03:16.01kullervothey're so rare you're lucky to see one
03:16.01Amarandekullervo: hm. you don't keep getting shards after you've got your ten and get the mount?
03:16.22Amarandealthough I suppose if they got the mount early on they have no other use for any skyshards they've looted since then
03:16.24Amarandeit *has* been a year
03:16.40kullervoalso sup with not having to deal with Zhao-Jin? I pulled him along with about 6 other mobs and aoed them all down ._.
03:17.00Amarandekullervo: I mean the version you face when you hit exalted and have to do the final quest chain for the ring
03:17.16kullervooh
03:17.20Amarandewith the %^#$@#*(&&*@# lightning bolts of doom
03:17.36Amarandewhere if you don't know you can use the spear while mounted you're in for a world of effing pain
03:17.56kullervothe only difficult solo content in this expansion is brawler's guild and proving grounds
03:18.05kullervothose quests have nothing
03:18.06Amarandeand why would you expect to be able to use the spear while mounted at all if you hadn't read through spoilers that you could? it's not like you can do that anywhere else :)
03:18.16kullervoespecially proving grounds where you have to rely on some extremely degenerate tactics
03:18.26Amarandeit's like MegaTen secret bosses, only a little more evil
03:18.36kullervoAmarande: you're exaggerating the difficulty
03:18.48kullervowe had this discussion earlier and I still think you have l2p issues
03:18.49Eraclitoi didn't try the proving grounds yet
03:20.00Amarandehm. I'm not actually sure there's anywhere else in the whole game where you need the specific player skills Zhao-Jin called for
03:20.09Amarandeas in, the perfectly timed jumps over lightning bolts etc.
03:20.18Amarandemaybe that bit with vanessa vancleef in heroic deadmines, but who goes there anymore
03:21.05kullervowho plays only WoW
03:21.16Amarandeand I do mean perfectly timed because if you aren't exactly on the ball, you may have avoided *that* lightning bolt but you'll be caught flatfooted for the next
03:21.23kullervotry to dodge aliens which bite your head off if they get in melee range and move at 10m/s
03:21.42Amarande... Flood from Halo, am I right?
03:21.48kullervono, dretches from Tremulous
03:22.03kullervothe flood are tame
03:24.16AmarandeDretches from Tremulous. I want to say Skyrim but even though dretch *sounds* Daedric I definitely remember that being a demon type from D&D
03:25.42Amarandespeaking of which I should start skyrim soon, I finally got it the other day for ps3
03:25.52kullervoI could try that too
03:26.03kullervogoign to pick up my gtx 780 from mail todayy
03:30.35AmarandeI wonder how early game finances compare to Morrowind and Oblivion
03:30.55Amarandein Morrowind I found it relatively easy to get on my feet gold-wise, while in Oblivion it was a horrendously tediously painful process
03:31.39Amarandealso whether they've eased up from oblivion in the "don't level too much early on or it gets super hard" department
03:36.12kullervohey Amarande, did you see my iron juggernaut video yet?
03:40.55Amarandehm don't think I did
03:41.17kullervohttp://smhttp.14409.nexcesscdn.net/806D5E/wordpress-L/images/post-jackiechan.jpg
03:42.24Amarandeheh
03:42.32kullervoeh nice, copypaste doesn't work between my machines right now
03:42.41kullervoI actually thought I'd pasted the youtube link
03:43.13kullervohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5p7ZFIZ5HY
03:43.13narwhalbotYouTube Iron Juggernaut 10H Tank PoV - Fear the Rabbit
03:53.55Amarandenice
03:54.04Amarandeand yay a youtube video I can actually watch with the html5 mode too
03:54.24kullervomust be because it's new and made to youtube specs
03:54.38Amarandekullervo: it's more because it isn't monetised
03:54.57kullervo... ooh right, they can't play advertisements on the html5 player can they?
03:55.02Amarandethe big problem with the html5 mode is that while videos that aren't converted seem to be rarish nowadays, the ads are all flash still
03:55.19Amarandeand if it's meant to be monetised, it'll just say no way jose and show that TV-static background when you try to play it
03:55.22kullervoand yeah I see no point in "monetizing" my videos
03:55.33kullervoeven if I had 100k viewers
03:55.41Amarandebut damned if I'm going to reinstall flash unless I can't avoid it
03:55.56Amarandethere are sites I belong to that would crawl like a maggot when I had flash installed and they run clear as day now
03:56.15kullervonoscript is great
03:58.17Amarande'course, now the trend seems to be to build flash into browsers, firefox seems to be the only one of the big three that hasn't done that yet *headdesk*
03:59.27AmarandeIE10 and 11 have built in flash, so does chrome ... silly idea :S
04:06.29AmarandeI'm not sure why the advertisers don't just go to html5 videos too
04:06.37Amarandeor is there some specific advantage to flash for that?
04:07.09kullervoyou can tell whether people have watched the advertisement if it's flash
04:07.18kullervoI don't see ads in any case

15:58.31JammerIt’s been a while since we’ve updated the Recruit-A-Friend program, but the time has come once again to close the doors for a bit and do a little remodeling. On Tuesday, October 15, we’ll be temporarily shutting down new Recruit-a-Friend sign-ups. Don’t worry though—the program will be back (and better than ever) before you know it.
15:59.08Dipsetif there is any option like that I would like to know if someone would invite me and level some toons w me and teach me how to really play the damn game lol

20:59.34kullervoa huge buff that's often overlooked
20:59.39kullervoor not noticed at all
21:00.24kullervoall areas have some room behind usual tanking locations so your camera never zooms incredibly close so that you don't get to see anything

21:14.10Amarandekullervo: that's just sane zone design, not really a "buff"
21:14.31Amarandethey've just learned lately to recognise one of the big flaws with 3D graphical engines
21:14.47Amarandeactually that's kind of a headdesk even because it's the ... fourth expansion now and they're only just realising this? :S
21:15.21Amarandepractically every 3D game I've played has had areas where camera orientation and management is often as difficult as the actual task, though
21:15.58Amarandethough WoW generally suffers less from this than most games, when you think of it
21:16.07Amarande(tab targeting being the main reason)
21:16.52Amarandemany other games there's no tab targeting, so what becomes the *real* problem is the meta task of orienting you and the camera so not only are you in range of what you need to deal with, but so it's also onscreen sufficiently to achieve a mouse click on it :p
21:16.53*** join/#wowhead MiRai (~MiRai@unaffiliated/mirai)
21:17.23Amarandeat least in wow you don't actually need the target to be on camera to fight it, *you* just need to be facing and in LoS of it

23:13.08b4k4^^because playing?
23:13.12b4k4^^:D
23:14.43b4k4^^did some adjusting (connected the CPU fan and an exhaust fan next to it with a splitter, turned front fans down, ditched AVG) and mine runs cooler and quieter than it used to
23:14.59b4k4^^also helps that I hate high AA, looks blurry to me
23:17.13b4k4^^no water cooling yet and probably won't happen with the current CPU
23:17.53b4k4^^a huge aircooler was easier back then
23:21.14kullervomy setup has the back fan pointing at the CPU cooler which points upwards
23:21.34kullervothe top has two 230mm fans
23:21.39b4k4^^oof
23:21.56b4k4^^I can't *fit* 230 mm fans :D
23:22.28b4k4^^could fit one 200 mm
23:22.40b4k4^^if my CPU cooler wasn't so tall

23:25.11kullervoold GPU ofc
23:25.21kullervothe new one comes above the bottom fan and thus gets suberb airflow

23:27.30b4k4^^yeah, that explains a bit
23:29.23b4k4^^huge aircoolers crowding DIMM slots </3
23:29.54kullervoI just couldn't install the 4th DIMM without removing that cooler

23:30.01kullervobut right now I have 16GB
23:30.22kullervoso it's not something I'd do tomorrow anyway
23:30.34b4k4^^mine *just* fits if the fan is on the opposite side from DIMM slots
23:30.54b4k4^^less than 1 mm extra room

23:31.50b4k4^^I've been thinking about pulling the CPU cooling air from back and exhaust it through front, but meh, it'd take, like, effort
23:32.15b4k4^^and it works well enough
23:33.03kullervothe only thing that gets remotely hot in my case are the SSDs/HDD
23:33.11kullervoand they're like... 47C at WORST.
23:33.32b4k4^^that's a bit toasty
23:33.48b4k4^^I like 35-ish
23:38.40kullervoyeah mine would be 20-ish if I moved the HDD rack back down to the bottom of the case
23:39.02kullervobut too much trouble, I'd have to remove the dampening material there and figure out whether that would negatively impact the GPU temp
